Grandma Kolks Cheese Ball Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cream together cream cheese and Miracle Whip.
• 2. Drain ham (if needed). Add ham (I chop it a bit while it's in the can before adding it), Tobasco sauce, and parsley flakes to mixture. Stir together.
• 3. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hrs.
• 4. Drop onto wax paper and roll mixture into a ball using the wax paper. Roll in chopped pecans.
• 5. Serve with Ritz crackers, Triscuits, or whatever suits your fancy.

Steps:

• Combine 2 ounces cream cheese, blue cheese, and vinegar in a small bowl. Add water, stir until creamy, and transfer to a larger bowl.
• Add remaining cream cheese, processed cheese spread, onion, and onion powder; mix until well combined. Mix in 1/2 cup walnuts until incorporated and shape into a ball.
• Spread plastic wrap on the counter and spread remaining walnuts over top. Roll cheese ball in nuts until completely covered, then place into a bowl to help it keep its shape. Refrigerate until firm, 8 hours to overnight.

Steps:

• Bring cheeses to room temperature.
• Place cheeses, onion and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl; mix well.
• Chill.
• Shape into 2 balls.
• Roll in walnuts and parsley.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• Serve with crackers, fruits and veggies.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil into a 9 × 13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and stir frequently until they are well browned, but not burned, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn down the heat to low and allow the pan to cool for 3 minutes. Add the parsley and ketchup, stirring to incorporate. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and place in the refrigerator to cool.
• When the onion mixture is completely cool, combine it with the ground beef, chicken liver, matzoh, salt, bread crumbs, and eggs in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
• Roll the mixture into round, golf ball-size meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches), making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
• Roast for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 165°F.
• Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.
